Our workshop on ESD flooring—also known as antistatic or static-control flooring—is easily adaptable for facilities owners and managers, contractors, or flooring installers.
Data centers, university labs, medical facilities
and more
“Dave Long’s seminar may be the best AIA presentation I’ve sat through over the past 10 years. I recommend it to any architect or engineer that may have projects with static-control flooring.”

In This Workshop We’ll Discuss
How static-control flooring works
Why every application is different
Key industry terms
Industry standards and tests
How to choose the right floor for every application
“All professionals involved in specifying flooring should know about the potential consequences of not specifying the right product and ensuring it is installed properly. Dave’s information can help us better protect our clients and avoid potential lawsuits.”
Michael James McKeon
AIA, LEED AP, MCPPO, Kaestle Boos Associates, Inc.
What You’ll Learn
Who needs static-control flooring and why
How to limit liability by choosing the right floor for different applications
How to write specs that meet current standards (ANSI/ESD S20.20, FAA 019f, AATCC134, NFPA 99, Motorola R56)
How to minimize ESD risk based on application and environment
How to assess installations using approved test methods and instruments
“We appreciate Dave taking the time to travel to Savannah to share his extensive technical knowledge of static control flooring and practical experiences. The hands-on testing he showed our team was extremely beneficial.”
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Why You Should Attend
Understand why conductivity is only half the solution and when low charge-generating materials are crucial
Gain research-based evidence, standards, and test methods
Reference proper grounding standards—and how to ground a static-control floor
Speak the language: conductive, static dissipative, low charge generating
Learn why every static-control floor must be tested after installation
Meet Dave Long
Dave is founder and CEO of StaticWorx, Inc., a U.S.-based supplier of static-control products. Under his leadership, StaticWorx has grown from a one-person operation to a U.S.-based organization with offices in Vermont, Maryland, Florida and California, recognized by Boston Business Journal and Inc.
